Plot

Steve Kendall is an American telegraph operator aboard a cargo ship. He inadvertently discovers that his ship is carrying contraband arms, when a revolutionary agent forces him to send a message to the revolutionaries ashore. When the secret police catch him catch the two together, the revolutionary flees, but is shot dead as he attempts to jump overboard. Seeing the two of them together, the police mistakenly believe Kendall to be in league with the local revolutionaries. Nearing port, Kendall dives overboard and swims to ashore in a foreign country. Being chased by the militia and police, he winds up meeting a local member of the revolutionary party, Nedra. It is discovered that Nedra was the sister of the man killed by the police on the boat, and Nedra's group had been planning to hijack the illegal arms which Kendall's ship was carrying. Nedra introduces Kendall to Tio, an American ex-patriot who runs a local dance hall. Tio agrees to hide him in the basement of the hall, while Nedra tries to figure a way to smuggle Kendall out of the country.

Upon its release, the album garnered much attention, gaining hype with the release of singles such as "Get Money" and "Players Anthem". The album features rapper The Notorious B.I.G., who contributes to the album's production in addition to appearing on four of the album's tracks. The album's third single "Get Money", contains a sample from "You Can't Turn Me Away" performed by Sylvia Striplin. The album has been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Reception

Conspiracy was a commercial success and received mixed critical reviews. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic wrote "Considering Ready to Die was one of the seminal hip-hop releases of the early '90s, Conspiracy could have been an inspired, enjoyable sequel; instead, it's a fitfully successful replication of the earlier record's strengths."
